WORLD HERITAGE-LISTED EASTER ISLAND
Nayara Hangaroa enjoys an enviable shoreline location on the mythical, World Heritage-listed Easter Island.
Everything at the Nayara Hangaroa is designed to reflect the island’s rich culture and serene natural beauty.
Inspired by the Orongo ceremonial village at the southwestern tip of the island, the hotel’s striking architecture is one of curved stone walls, Polynesian prints, wooden pillars and grass-topped roofs. A lounge shaped like an ancestral boathouse, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light, complete the unique design.
With their handmade clay tubs, volcanic stone-framed beds and cypress-lined ceilings, the hotel’s 75 guestrooms and suites are equally imbued with the energy of the island. Each has its own terrace with impressive ocean view attached. In the spa, treatments employ natural ingredients found on the island, whilst the two restaurants serve dishes flavoured with the spices of Polynesia. The geometric pool is the largest on the island, perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip after touring the area’s remarkable archaeological sites.

A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
